Elon Musk’s social media platform X suffered disruption on Saturday that resulted in posts failing to load.

Performance-monitoring website Downdetector displayed an enormous red spike representing tens of thousands of reports of the disruption on the platform.

The spike peaked at around 5pm GST. Posts were not loading in the UAE, on the east and west coasts of the US, or in the UK for many X users.

Downdetector.com reported a massive spike in reports of X being down.

The issue appeared to be resolved about an hour later as users could start to see content again.

Mr Musk acquired the platform for $44 billion in 2022 as Twitter and subsequently renamed it X.
